I went to a Rogers today at lunch and they told me it's going to be more like 2-3 weeks until they get more O.o but that's just a guess. Seem's like Apple is letting them out slow like Nintendo always does with systems.

Bell at Parker said they will have some this week. Their plans are not bad neither. They are taking refundable deposit now.

Went to Oakridge and Pacific Centre this morning. Both had no stock and didn't know exactly when they would get any more. Such a bummer.

Man I freakin hate going to the store and check. It seems they are making people constantly go to the store to check. It's like we don't have a life or something.

think of it as a marketing scheme. the more effort you put into getting the phone the more you will appreciate it

Got to apple store oakridge at 11am. Walked out around 1:50pm. Only 16gb where available tho. Fine with me

By the way, chinese rogers store charges $10 for microsim while apple store is free.

the process is extremely slow..when i upgraded today, the guy had to log into the rogers system, take his time looking at the upgrade options, print everything out, walk somewhere to get the receipt and then it was done...i picked up two phones today and it took me over 30 mins in the store to get them both done..it is insane how long the process takes

Soo anyone havee any insider info as to when PC or Oakridge will get their secret stock in? Phoned retentions and my dad and I qualify for early HUP and the only way to get them is thru the store level be it Rogers or Apple. I've been stalking iphoneincanadas thread + chat trying to see if anyone has any idea when roughly these drop. Might have to camp at oakridge tmr guh.

is my math right?
my HUP price = $499 + tax (32 GB)
Dataplan cancellation fee = $200

Total = $758.88 ??

no tax on cancellation fee right?

Apple Store = $779 + tax = $872

Save $113.12 by going with Rogers LOCKED phone?
